These Dreams

These dreams they haunt me
[forcing me awake, holding on to my every breath]

These dreams they taunt me
[my heart compounded by their passionate strength]

These dreams they suffocate me
[stomping deftly inside my soul]

These dreams they destroy me
[pushing and pulling my body apart]

These dreams they define me
[paralyzed am I by their despair]

These dreams they anger me
[elusive they try to escape]

These dreams they will not let me be –
Not until I–I–I – will set them free

These dreams they will no more imprison me
And I–I–I – will no longer Be…
